Everton could be in for a busy summer of transfer activity and one emerging report has left supporters at Goodison Park absolutely drooling.
According to Sport Bild, the Toffees are one team that could sign Schalke 04 midfielder Weston McKennie with Newcastle and two other unnamed English teams keen.
It’s claimed that the United States international dreams of a move to the Premier League whilst he’s likely to cost around €25m (£22.5m).
Would you like to see McKennie at Goodison?
Absolutely!
No thanks!
Which has led to fans excited about the prospect of seeing him swap the Bundesliga for Merseyside.
Perhaps a defensive midfielder is something that Everton currently lack and the 21-year-old is able to even play in central defence – per WhoScored, he’s averaged 1.6 interceptions, 1.4 tackles and 1.3 clearances.
Some have lauded McKennie’s huge potential, claiming that he’s absolutely what the club need whilst others have described the potential move as a “belter” as well as solid”.
Here’s the rest of the reaction…
We absolutely need him. We don’t have any midfielder who can play three games in a row. He is a big potential. Schalke is ready to sell their players especially after their bad economic situation. Also we like American players. (Donovan-Howard)

I’m all for this. Especially if we make the push and get into Europe, we’ll need solid depth. Not sure if he’d be great from the jump, but Carlo would get him to his best.

He’s one of the major future pieces of the USMNT so as a Yank and an Evertonian, I love it.

He’d be a great signing he’s a good young player and loves a tackle
